Re: Lottery poll:)
1. Yep. Can't win if you don't play!
2. I would pay off all our debt, sell our house, and move. Oh and pay for IF treatments.
3. I'm sure we would share with family.
4. DH always always tells me- if we win, we tell NO ONE.
5. Probably!
1-Do you play the lottery? Yup
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? 100 million or more - Tell my boss and CEO to go F themselves. Oh, you meant spending-wise. First, pay off debt. Then a very long vacation. When I got home, I would start an animal sanctuary. All species welcome!
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? I would pay off my parents house and make sure they were set for life. Then donate a bunch to our church ( I will need all the grace I could get after cursing at my boss and CEO).
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? Definitely keep it as hush hush as possible, except for the people that might notice if we're out of town for a year or so.
5- Would you quit your job? See question #2. I'll go even farther and say that it'll be the most epic quitting-of-the-job ever, probably involving the office paging system, SWAT team and the Ringling Brothers circus.
Lottery poll:)
1-Do you play the lottery? Occasionally
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? 100 million or more To start, I would pay off all our debt, invest for our future and go on a fabulous vacation!
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? Yes, I would definitely donate to charity and would also help out our families.
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? We would probably keep it secret.... DH is a worry wart!
5- Would you quit your job? Yes, but I would eventually get a job or start a business doing something I enjoy that would also allow me to raise kids.

1-Do you play the lottery? Never.
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? 100 million or more I would pay off all our debt, buy a couple of houses and invest the rest wisely!
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? I would pay off all our immediate family's debts and take care of our parents indefinetly.
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? I'd be too chicken to tell until I had the money in my hands. : )
5- Would you quit your job? Aaaaaand go.... I would quit in a heartbeat and never look back!
1-Do you play the lottery? No. I used to get a scratch off every once in a while, but not so much anymore.
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? 100 million or more Pay off any debt, purchase a modest house, maybe get some cosmetic surgery to get some minor things adjusted that bother me (
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? Hmm. Well I wouldn't just cut a check, but everyone would certainly be spoiled for Christmas
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? Keep it quiet.
5- Would you quit your job? Not altogether, but I'd probably drop down to part time. I can't not work, I'd drive myself crazy with boredom. Besides, going to work is like my only social life!

Baby boy #2 | due 4.13.15
1)yes
2)Pay off our debt, car and student loans. Buy a HUGE house like over 5k sqft
3)No. Money ruins relationships
4)We would not be telling anyone.
5) I would quit my job. I like kids, but I don't feel the tug to being a teacher like I thought I would.
1. Do you play the lottery? Occassionally.
2. What would you do if you won the big lottery? Pay off student loans, house, credit cards, buy new cars, build a bigger house, take a fabulous vacation and invest it. Oh, and shoes. Lots of shoes.
3. Would you give any money to anybody else? We would make sure my grandparents and both of our parents were set for life. Probably my sister too. Give some to charity.
4. Would you tell everyone that you won? No, keep it quiet.
5. Would you quit your job? Well, I don't currently have a job. I am one semester out from my master's degree in speech language pathology. I really love it and would hate to have all these years of hard work be for nothing so I would probably finish my degree and get a job. I could sure take my time getting one though! DH would quit his in a heartbeat.
1-Do you play the lottery? the occasional scratch-off for me, but hubby buys a lottery ticket like once a week
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? 100 million or more....take a looong vacation 1st and foremost, pay off all debts of course including house and cars, and build a new (big) dream home
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? if 100 mil, 1 mil or 2 to my parents, in-laws, my bro, and DH's sister so they could all be set
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? def try to keep it secret....I've seen a documentary on people who won the lottery and they almost had to go into hiding from all the people asking them for money/investments
5- Would you quit your job? Prob wouldn't quit right away, but would def NOT be full time...prob would just go supplemental and work a few times a month
1. My husband and I bought a scratch-off ticket once. We found $10 laying in the parking lot of a shopping mall and thought we might get lucky twice. Other than that, we've never played anything.
2. I would build a beautiful custom home and have it professionally decorated. We'd pay it off right away, along with our cars and student loans, then invest the rest.
3. We'd keep 50% of whatever was left after taxes and evenly distribute the remaining 50% to our parents, siblings, and grandparents.
4. I'm leaning toward keeping it a secret. I'm sure all the media attention would be fun for a while, but I don't think I'd want coworkers, acquaintances, and distant relatives to know.
5. I would probably quit my job, but I'm planning to do that anyway to be a SAHM, so I don't think that counts. My husband would never quit his job, though. He gets so bored just sitting at home for the weekend--I can't imagine him doing nothing all the time!

1-Do you play the lottery? Nope - I kinda feel like it's blood money, won on the backs of those who generally don't have a lot and place false hope in it.
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? First thing, of course, pay off all of the debts of every member of my and DH's family, set up college funds for all of the kids, and set up my and DH's parents for a comfortable retirement. Second, give a substantial endowment to the community chorus I belong to and my home town church and give a large chunk to the local legal aid society. Third, invest enough to provide DH and I with a $100K per year income for life. Fourth, see #5. Finally, give the rest away.
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? See #2.
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? I would absolutely keep it a secret - nobody needs to know my business (and I wouldn't want swarms of new "friends" trying to muscle in and get cash out of me).
5- Would you quit your job? Nope - I love what I do. Instead, I would use some cash to set up my own practice and hire some soon-to-be-retiring, knowledgeable professionals to teach and train me for two years so that I know what I'm doing, lol.
1-Do you play the lottery? Yes, usually only when it's a big pot- over/around $100M. We have an office pool for pots over $100M and I will ocassionally buy tix myself as well.
2-What would you do if you won the big lottery? 100 million or more Oh where to begin? We would pay off our debt, buy a house, new cars, hire a cleaning service lol, pay off my IL's mortgage, same for BIL and SIL, put some $$ away for DSS's college and future children, and take a LONG romantic vacation!
3-Would you give any money to anybody else and if so how much? Yes, see above- we would also do something for my parents- their mortgage is paid off, so I'm not sure how much we'd give them or what we'd do.
4- Would you tell everyone that you won or go the legal route to keep it a secret from the media? I would keep it as quiet as possible!
5- Would you quit your job? I would probably quit my day job but I also have a direct sales business that I would continue with- that would become my primary job.
